One Piece Elbaf's Biggest Battle

Lake Elbaf is undoubtedly one of the greatest. one piece history. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is the best issue of the series so far. Arc Elbaf embodies everything One Piece stands for. It has the perfect amount of storytelling, action, and drama. Oda also revealed all sorts of secrets from the Elbaf arc, including what exactly happened to God Valley.

In addition to storytelling and world-building, there's a lot of action in the arc. There are many outstanding battles in Arc Elbaf, some of which were part of the God Valley flashbacks. Not all battles in the arc are of similar length. Some of them lasted only a few minutes, while others took hours.

Davey D. Seebeck vs. Figaland Garling

Winner: Davy D. Xebec

• Xebec tried to save his family.

• Garling was beaten.

God Valley flashbacks were dominated by Davy D. Xebec, leader of the Rocks Pirates. Fans have been waiting for years to learn more about Xebec because he seemed like an interesting character. When Oda finally revealed Xebec's true nature, readers were pleasantly surprised.

In a flashback, Xebec traveled to God Valley to rescue his wife and children from the clutches of the Celestial Dragons. Xebec was overprotective of his family and would not stop at any cost. Paladin Garling tried to stop the pirates, but it was no use. Xebec eliminated the paladin and continued as if nothing had happened. Considering that Garling was taken out too early by Xebec, his introduction becomes even more interesting as he is called the champion of God Valley.

Davey D. Seebeck vs. harald

Winner: Davy D. Xebec

• Friendship began with the first meeting

• Harald and Rocks were equal in terms of strength.

Besides Xebec, one of the major highlights of the flashback was Harald, King of Elbaf. Not long after the arc began, Harald's name was constantly mentioned in the story, clearly indicating that he would play a pivotal role. Harald was praised as the greatest ruler of Elbaf because he was a kind and just man. But he was not a man who could be pushed around.

Harald had incredible stamina and Haki that allowed him to take on almost anyone, including Xebec. Harald first encountered Xebec at Marijoa, where their clash destroyed almost everything within a certain radius. The second place they fought was Elbaf, which put a huge strain on their friendship. The third and final battle between the two took place at sea. Harald initially decided to fight Xebec. Because if they do, the World Government has promised to make Elbaf an affiliated nation. However, upon learning of Xebec's true past, Harald decided to ensure that Xebec won. All three fights between Harald and Xebec are very important to One Piece's overall story, so they're high on the list.

Scoper Gavan vs. Shepherd Somers

Winner: Scoffer Gavan

• Gaban bypassed Sommers' play.

• Gavan's victory saved the Straw Hat Pirates.

The Elbaf issue featured the debut of Scopper Gaban, one of the series' most charismatic characters. Gaban was Gol D. Roger's left-hander. He lived in Elbaf for a very long time, and people affectionately called him Yasan. Fans have been waiting a long time to see Gaban in action because they wanted to see how his power compared to that of Silvers Rayleigh.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long to see Gaban in action. When the Holy Knights attacked Elbaf, they had no idea that Gavan would stop them. The first to taste Gaban's power was Shepherd Sommers. After spending much time tormenting the innocent citizens of Elbaf, Sommers finally emerged at the hands of Gaban. The latter cut off Sommers' hand and then dealt a fatal blow to the Holy Knight, making the fight impossible.

Davey D. Seebeck vs. Roger and Garp

Winners: Roger and Garp

• Xebec wanted to stop.

• Roger and Garp join hands and defeat Xebec.

Davy D. Xebec was a key figure in the God Valley incident. He went to the island to save his wife and child from being killed. Although successful in completing his mission, Xebec was unable to protect himself. Unfortunately, he fell prey to Imu's Domi Reversi and turned into a demon. Xebec tried to fight the change but failed. He then received orders from Imu to exterminate his family and everyone else on the island. Luckily, Kuma saved Eris and Teach before Xebec arrived.

The demon pirate turned his attention to Garp and Roger. As he approached the two, Garp and Roger heard his voice asking them to kill him. They were confused, but they knew they had to do it. While everyone else ran, Roger and Garp stood their ground and fought Xebec. They used the Conqueror's hokey attacks against the demon several times, but none of them seemed to have any effect. Finally, Roger found a way to bypass Xebec's defenses. Even though it was a risky action, they had no choice but to try it. Fortunately, the gamble paid off and Xebec was killed.
